No need for a gun. He already pays them to do something that they could not get paid anywhere else to do. He has them by the balls.

Why can't someone start a website that's basically amazon.com, but with the one unique selling point: it's not actually amazon, but a different company, one that Jeff Bezos doesn't own. So many people would go there just for that reason.
I know Jeff still has enough money to keep the Washington Post making their creepy columns even if it doesn't sell a single subscription, but it'd be a start.

Because amazon core business is no longer selling products to customers. It is so diversified it is insane. Half of the internet is on their servers. They have services for every possible thing that you will maybe need.
Just creating an online shop will not even make a 0.001% dent on amazon. Also, nobody can compete with it in terms of price. They have whole global supply chains under them. Not even walmart can compete.

Walmart tried when they bought out some shitty ecom startup for like $2B a few years ago, and all of the storefronts that make up half of Amazon's online sales rejoiced. Then everybody jumped ship after Walmart displayed that they were very much still Walmart. They demanded the exact same ludicrous cut as Amazon for a shitty website that offered way less sales prospects and rDrama regulars as their seller support. The honeymoon period lasted about a week.
Lol no joke I had a seller support rep threaten to shut down my store after I told her I would have to price every single product as the category with the highest service fee because their shitty system wouldn't tell me what category any products were in and she refused to tell me.

Since most of you are unemployable basement dwellers, here's what's going on:
Corporate sends out a company wide email on social media engagement.
They reiterate guidelines and policy. They """suggest""" some examples, phrases and descriptors that would be acceptable to post: collegiate, collaborative, fun, etc.
Employees who are NPCs go ahead and put all those things together, hit the post button
This isn't at all unique to WaPo or journ*lism, every single company does this. The difference is that WaPo employees have blue check marks.

But who made these people post it, all at the same time? I just skimmed the email but I didn't see it.
Just don't say shit.
"You're 'strongly suggesting' I go on social media, under my own name, and say something you want me to say? I'm good, I'm not here just push whatever you want pushed"
But I guess these people have little actual talent and can't risk rocking the boat. If only they were good at something!
As it is, it only exacerbates people claiming they're just mouth pieces to push a narrative and not really "report"
